‘Ave A Milkshake, Mate. Dairy products: What every well-dressed political hate-monger deserves to wear.
Kris Kobach As Immigration Czar? Only if his list of demands is met. Those demands?:
- 1. Office in the West Wing.
- 2. Walk-in privileges with the president.
- 3. Assistant to the President rank – at highest pay level for WH senior staff.
- 4. Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant).
- 5. POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement.
- 6. 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week.
- 7. Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere.
- 8. Security detail if deemed necessary after security review.
- 9. Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy – the principal spokesman on television and in the media.
- 10. Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.
Dog Bites Man. DEFAC Raises Revenue Estimate By $40.7 Mill. Almost all from Personal Income Tax.
Dems Are Letting Right-Wingers Define Iran Debate. I agree. We accept the misrepresentation of Iran as a ‘malign actor’ as Gospel, even though the truth is more complicated. Definitely worth reading.
600 People. 414 Million Pieces of Trash. Yet another reason to do away with single-use plastic.
What do you want to talk about?
Rodney Square at noon. Rally to show support for abortion rights.
Yours truly will be standing in solidarity with my comrades. Come out. It feels good to put yourself in the mix.

A Biden political cartoon. I particularly like her Biden slogan, “Flaccid Platitudes for America.”

And on a lighter note come on, admit it, you’d love to see Carper, Coons or both “milk shaked”. Preferably with attitude.
Yep. Coons, preferably at an AIPAC event. Where they’re serving beef.
Agree.
I was throwing this back and forth in my mind. Carper & Coons are my political enemies. But they’re aren’t fascist.
However, at AIPAC… Yeah. And AIPAC conference is always in March near St Pat’s day. Shamrock shake that shit.
